Back home after a wonderful week.....it was..... really! I stitched and PJ read and then on Wednesday it brightened up and we went out along the beach. The waves were still having a lot to say but it was a good bracing walk.
On Thursday we went out on the proverbial exploration and had an interesting day so all good. We have booked to go back next year hoping that there are no accidents or bad weather!!!
The desk....
I have a lot to catch up as we had no internet (see last week's post below) while we were away..... so I have been adding 'bits' to this ready for the day I can come back in.
So here I am using the laptap. To the left of which are my birthday tags and behind them .... my post which needs answering and photographing as it all contains swaps of one sort or another. Behind the laptop are the small stackers in which are my tiny diamantes and beads. In the boxes next are some peel offs ready for the Technique Swap. Then we have some magazines and papers ready to be 'filed' or just probably put away (usually the latter!)
On the far right by the Calibur is one of my white boxes. This contains all the peel offs that are too large for the acrylic boxes, they are my 'fancy' ones which look like ribbons with beads.
Sitting on top are some Chocolate Baroque Steampunk stamps ready to use for a Steampunk Flowers swap.
Not chaos but organisation ..... that's the way I roll!!
Have a good week won't you .... we hope to start clearing, pruning and rearranging the garden .... Rhoda the chicken is in for a treat as we will be clearing her run, setting up a new one round the soft fruit bushes, so she will have to go sort them out!! One way to weed and fertilise at the same time!!! lol
Have a good week and thank you to all who have let me know they would like to swap ATCs.... I am busy designing them (in my head!)
A chicken called Rhoda, lol!! She sounds as if she rules the roost in your garden :-). I'm so glad you had a good break, it sounds just what the doctor ordered. I think you're the desker who does the most swaps by far, I'm breathless reading about it all...

A wonderful busy desk and I love the sound of Rhoda the chicken .. am sure she will be delighted with her new roost! Thanks for popping by my blog earlier ... after MUCH thought and HUGE disappointment I have decided not to attend the crop. I now look such a freak with my tummy troubles so am tending to hide myself away - it's awfully embarrassing & I have no intention of inflicting such a sight on all of you but will absolutely be there in spirit. I have made some ATC's for anyone who would like one (no swap back is necessary) and these are already with Shaz & Doug who are very kindly bringing them along for me. I know you will all have a wonderful time - a gathering of such special people celebrating a really wonderful milestone for WOYWW! Much love Christine xXx
ReplyDeleteI love your busy desk and am glad that you had a nice break away. Happy WOYWW. Have a great week. With love and God Bless, Caro x (#18)
ReplyDeleteI'm laughing about Rhoda the chicken, who weeds and fertilizes at the same time. Here in the states, we call that "free range" (GRIN). Had to get that in. It was too funny to pass up.
ReplyDeleteYour desk is rather busy, I think. One thing I wanted to say is, you and I follow a blog that has nothing to do with WOYWW: Birgit's BB Creations. She is a hoot. Thanks for stopping by earlier this morning. Happy WOYWW from #2.
Hope Rhoda enjoys her new run! I am aiming to have an atc for everyone at the crop so yes please! Helen #1
ReplyDeleteI'm sure Rhoda will enjoy her move! I'll try to crack on and make some ATCs or I will have nothing! See you soon Chrisx 33
ReplyDeleteps Paris???
Hi Chris, chaos or organisation - same thing on my desk! Lol. I hope Rhoda enjoys her new run! Glad you had a nice relaxing break. Looking forward to seeing you again at the Crop. Thanks for stopping by earlier. I agree with the sharing of information - I have learned so much from fellow deskers, love reading everyone's blogs! Have a lovely week Heather x #7
ReplyDeleteHi Christine, better make this quick as I should be in bed Lol! I don't know if I'm too late but I'd love to swap with you if you've any spare ATCs, just let me know. For now, have a great woyww, happy crafting and hugs to Rhoda, Angela x14x
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear you had such a good break Christine. I am keeping swaps to the crop this year (apart from my PIF) so if you have any ATCs left over then I'd love to. Your desk certainly looks like it's going to keep you busy for quite some time lol. Happy WOYWW. Sarah #3
ReplyDeleteHi Christine, Love all the organisation! Sounds like you had a great break. I'd love to swap with you- we can do it at the crop? Have a lovely week, Hugs, Shaz #15 X
